    I looked down and could see my belly beneath my tits.

    Now, I'd like to feel confident enough to wear a bikini, so "I'm ginger; the burning isn't worth it" isn't hiding a greater excuse.

    Honestly?

    To be able to say "In your face F**kers" to everyone that never gave me a chance because of my weight! It's my time to stand up and be heard!
    I love this, and feel this way about people who have cheated on me!!

    My number one reason is for my health (hopefully beat my FMS symptoms into remission, and fix a bad back), but being one of the hot chicks again and getting my pick of the guys comes in at a very close second.

    I used to be the woman that when I walked by men they looked at me with desire. I want to be that woman again. Also there is a super fine man that I have been having a casual relationship with for over a year. I know that if I shape up, our relationship will change in the right direction :love: . He is really fit. Even though, he says he doesn't mind my love handles. I know that he would like a better body. Me too.

    AND, my boss makes me sick :mad: ! We are both dieting and exercising. I just want to beat her. I am already smaller and better looking than her. I'm also older than her (coworkers didn't know that until I told them). I want to make her look like *kitten* in my presence because she is a pathological liar that makes everyone in the office miserable. I know that this sounds shallow, but if you only knew . . .
  • I'm doing it to be healthy, happy, to feel amazing, so I can do what ever it is I want in the long run. I don't want to be a bum on the couch watching everyone..

    I don't wanna be the fattest mom at senior night or graduation
    To say f-u to all the men that wouldn't even give me the time of day
    To stop hating how I look

    Throughout my young adult life I was a 6-8, went to the gym 5 to 6 days a week, and ate very healthy. With each of my children I gained 10 lbs I didn't lose before having the next one, I stopped going to the gym, and started eating more and more processed convenience foods. In the midst of this, my marriage began to fall apart. Not that I can completely blame him for food put in my mouth, but I feel like he would sabotage any weight loss I did accomplish by his behavior. (My kids would always comment how my husband would cook all my favorite foods I couldn't eat whenever I went on a diet.) I just stopped caring about myself to care for the kids and wallow in my self pity about why my husband and I just couldn't get along. So here I am now 30 lbs heavier than I should be. My mom, dad, and sister all have type 2 diabetes. I have PCOS, low thyroid, and I am hypoglycemic- talk about a crappy combo! But I'm determined, I am competitive, and I'm a fighter. My marriage is on its last legs and I refuse to be left as the dumpy ex-spouse. I want people to look at me with awe that I am strong on the inside AND the outside. In May when I started running again, it was like someone offered me a life preserver. Slowly but surely...

    Health. For sure. I started on blood pressure meds at 24. How sad is that? My mom died of a heart attack at age 46. She was obese, sedentary, had uncontrolled high bp and other problems. I don't want that to be me and I was quickly headed in that direction. After being on blood pressure medication for 10 years, I'm happy to say I've been off the meds for about 5 months now.

    Vanity and I miss the strong feeling I use to have. When I was fit I felt like I could do anything without anyone.

    This 26 pounds ain't gonna lose itself.

    I'm squishy around the middle. I don't like the way it looks and it's a dangerous place for a woman to carry weight when her family has a history of heart disease. And I don't want to be in the half way mark where nothing in the skinny girl store fits right and nothing in the fat girl store fits right, and good luck finding a bra in my size that doesn't come in a box, or cost less than $50.

    Can't pin it down to just one thing.
    I'm afraid of cancer and diabetes and all the other scary things associated with being obese.
    I hate my side profile.
    All selfish reasons though, there's no doubt in my mind I am doing this for me, not anyone else!:blushing:

    Well I should say "because I want to avoid medication for my recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes". That would be politically correct. But really number one reason is vanity lol. I'm sick of being fat!

    Because I wanna be kick *kitten*! I want to be strong and powerful and self secure. I want to be independent and choose dependence when I care about someone, rather than have them "own me" because Im too weak internally and externally to know better.

    To push myself further than I thought possible, and do more than I ever could

    To feel confident and desirable naked

    Increased endurance
    Increased confidence

    I also exercise when I'm hurting inside - the physical pain of exhaustion training makes me forget the rest... The muscle and weight loss is a good side effect.

    And last, but not least...

    To piss off my ex

    There is not a single life goal I have that won't be easier to accomplish if I'm thin, fit, and attractive.

    Freaking love that.

    Yeah, I want to be healthy, but I also want to be hot. Smoking hot. I am tired of being told I have "such a pretty face!" or gorgeous hair or nice eyes or a wonderful personality or any number of things that mean, "you're pretty but you'd be prettier if you weren't fat." Now I want the bangin' body to go with it.
